Central Grill and Coffee House

Best pancakes I’ve had in my entire life. I love this place so much. They also make good coffee and have wonderful breakfast burritos.

The food was delicious! Best burger in a long time. The service was friendly and helpful. Lunch was very reasonably priced. It was hot and noisy inside though. The patio area was better.

The food is very good and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and attentive. The owner, George, can be a bit of a curmudgeon, but that doesn't take away from the courteous service of his staff or the quality of the food.

Regarding diner food, this place is okay. I ordered the chicken-fried steak with my choice of egg (which I got scrambled), hash browns or papitas (which I chose papitas), and a buttermilk biscuit. The chicken-fried steak had a crisp exterior, but the meat was flat and dry. The gravy it was topped with was generic and bland; it contained only pepper. The eggs were okay. The papitas were dry and unseasoned. The buttermilk biscuit was the worst (well, the worst when it comes to buttermilk biscuits). First off, it felt more like a bread roll than a biscuit, leading to a tough texture, as if they worked (kneaded) the dough instead of mixing until everything was combined, folding it a few times, and then cutting out the biscuit (assuming they made the biscuit in-house). It also had a stale taste, like it had been sitting out. Overall, the chicken-fried steak rates a 4-5 out of 10. The breakfast burrito (the Jr. burrito is pictured) was decent. They were generous with the bacon and not overpowered by cheese. The red chili was decent. I rate the breakfast burrito a 6-7 out of 10. Would I go here again? Probably not, but I would be inclined to try their banana waffle or blueberry pancakes if I did.

Brought some friends here that came to visit from California. The young man helping take our order was so rude. He felt very inconvenienced by the questions our friends were asking. My friend ordered the chile relleno breakfast and asked if the chile rellenos were made in house. He rolled his eyes and said no they are from our distributor. We ordered 2 cinnamon rolls. He did not offer to warm them. They were hard. The beans tasted like can beans, the potatoes were frozen and deep fried. The whole experience was terrible and I was embarrassed to bring people from out of town here. I don’t recommend. Better quality food all around the area

Some of the best eggs benedict I've ever had, and I'm an eggs benedict addict. It's all I get at all brunch places. This was just phenomenal.

I got a weird vibe from this place from the get go, there were 3 cop cars busting some unhomed dude in the parking lot and they were making a big deal of it, so I went to the drive through window, bu no one was attending it, so I went in. The boss was kinda manic and edgy and his crew was stressed on account of that, I could tell. Not a bad vibe, but I felt bad for whomever has to work there...the food is great tho.

We came in with an extra large group ordered all in one ticket and nothing came out wrong. That is rare these days. Staff is friendly and fast, but if it’s busy just move along the line you will be taken care of and it’s worth the wait. Coffee is always available HOT! The food is a full plate only concern is gravy on biscuits were used sparingly. Other than that AAA. So come in hungry leave wobbly. Smile it’s contagious

We had our breakfast here, and we ordered burritos, going banana french toast with poached egg. The taste was all good, esp. burritos, and well presented on the plate. The location is closer to the old church in Albuquerque. The owner is a cashier, and he is very accommodating.
